Paper cake box

I never used templates- so this one was a trial and I loved it.. Really don't remember where I got this one- so credit to everyone and any one- I just found it once on the web ages ago.

My mom's birthday is in a week- the real present were bought during my trip to Morocco some days ago (the moroccan dress mom wanted and some other items too)- so this is a box for all these small items (key chain, necklace etc)

And as always it was done for lots of challenges (just an explanation how I manage to do so many challenges)- is very simple: I have a long list of challenge blogs in my own blog here- just scroll down to see it . So I scroll for all blogs before crafting and write down any single challenge I can possibly do- colors, theme, products, one sketch (you can't use more than 1). Sometimes I fix my ideas to fit some challenges, sometimes the craft piece fits the challenges without any efford- like " not a card", " gift" , altered item, recycling as it is what they ask for from the beginning.

Really easy- but takes some time- so I do it at night and never do the next day challenges- as the are changing before I finish the piece.Then I re-check all of these challenges as sometimes it changes after all a day before or closed for submission. That's it- anyone can do it as I do- also it really takes some of your crafting time.It's even very easy with lo-s as these challenges are mostly for 2 weeks or a month- so when I do a page I just check my lists and if anyone askes for lace I can always add some lace (not for boyish one.. ) or a button or some pearls as the challenge still runs ...

I've been seeing these sweet little cake slices pop up all over on blogs and just {heart} them! What an absolutely adorable gift!! Thanks for sharing another one of your lovely designs with us all this week in the Tea Room :)
